The garden was packed with stalls featuring clothing, crafts, bric-a-brac, scones and tea.
Rosemary Calder from Bee Blest Apiary's, had a range of homemade products on offer, including honey, balms and beeswax food wraps. Based at Scottsdale, Mrs Calder said the business was started from a spark of inspiration.
"My husband came home one day and said we should get into beekeeping, then the next night he came home with a flatpack bee hive, a smoker and a protective hood," she said.
